October has an extensive and exquisite analysis of The Fog (1980) and The Fog (2005), ranging from the implications of the changes to the original, some tangents relating to John Carpenter’s other films and “alienation vs. connection.” (via The Horror?!)
There’s a teaser out for Ong-Bak 3 and it’s chock full of “Holy Shit!” (Including the Ong Bak Buddha statue, but I really don’t think that’s what’ll make you say, “Holy Shit!”)
Did you know that the theme to “For a Few Dollars More” had lyrics? Cantonese pop star Josephine Siao did. You can hear it and her version of “Goldfinger,” too, thanks to Soft Film. (via 4DK)
The digital edition of Jim Munroe and Shannon Gerrard’s, Sword of My Mouth is up with some lovely preview pages. You can stare straight down the blade, if you want.
The Human Centipede trailer is squicksome indeed. The human centipede vs. human chicken fight in Last Hero in China is a lovely palette-cleanser.
Yes, it’s 2010 and the Cultural Gutter is finally tweeting in the gutter, or twittering in the gutter. It sounds unsanitary, but what it means is you can follow us on Twitter now. (You can also fan us on Facebook).
